  • Elsalvajeloco changed the title to UFC 281: Adesanya vs. Pereira (11/12/2022) - New York, NY (Madison Square Garden)

Looking forward to this particularly Adesanya/Pereira, Pereira by KO/TKO in R3 and Poirier/Chandler. I expect a Fight of the Year candidate in the latter. Someone is getting KO'd there. Fancy Chandler wins via KO in R2. Seeing Esparaza as champion unfortunately 're reminds me of that God awful fucking fight with Thug Rose last time out in one of the worst I've ever seen. Shame it's not Zhang/Rose III.

Stoked for the main event.   I know that armchair analyst will say that this is MMA and not kickboxing, but how confident is Izzy really going into a title defense against a man that probably has his number?  The last time he stepped into the ring with this man, he was knocked cold in the third.   I don't give a fuck who you are and how good you think you are, you never forget the guys that put you to sleep.

This with the power Pereira possesses.

Man... Dominck Reyes. Damn. That chin absolutely disappeared once Jan dropped him for the belt. The Jiri and now the Spann KO's have been really ugly.

Stepped into a jab and went down in a heap.

He got stung early and after that I knew it was a matter of time. Just a crazy career trajectory.

 

IN OTHER NEWS....

Moicano just dropped the front runner for post-fight promo of the night... MOICANO WANT MONEY.
